Saumur and the surrounding area

All holiday homes and bed and breakfast are at equal distance to the surrounding sites.

The Saumur region is so versatile, the tourist information website offers a lot of information, and here I can only describe a small amount. But do look at their website to give yourself some ideas and different options – http://www.ot-saumur.fr/

There are many castles to visit within the Loire valley. My 2 favorites are Montreuil Bellay, because it is still lived in and used by the family. You can see all the original equipment used and the decor is historical as well. The second one it is the Château de Brézé and especially what is underneath the castle. In the middle ages the lord of Brézé lived in fortified dwelling caves called roche, and It is an amazing site. Part of it is a combination of daily living and the other part a system of defence. It is a unique site within Europe and is well worth a visit. There is also a bakery and a wine press underground.

You have some troglodyte caves carved within the local stone “tuffeau”. They are all different, some with figures carved on the walls, one with a 6th century quary where sarcophagi were produced and then transported mainly by water, some as far as England! Dwellings with farmhouse and outbuildings for animals, dwellings for artists, scenographic trail in “The faluns mystery” where you are taken back 10 million years ago underwater. There are also mushroom caves, wine cellars in the caves, and even a zoo half within the caves and half outdoor.

these includ mushroom Museum, wineries, didactic show in caves where people are transported 10 million years ago(les mystères des faluns),village troglodytic (Rochemenier),miniature park within a troglodyte
